Appearance:

In a blink of an eye, it is the National Day Golden Week, when people from all over the country travel. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival happens to be the 7th, which is connected with the National Day.

Xie Changqing, who originally planned to bury his head in the training ground for the holiday, temporarily changed his plan, and was willingly "put on vacation" for three days and stepped on the plane back to G City.

Just because my grandmother happened to return to China, the old man is old, he often trains in other places, and when he went back to G City a while ago to recuperate, he wanted to accompany the old man more, but he was fooled by his cousin's family to go abroad, and he was dragged back to the old man when it became cold. Since it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is natural that the elderly cannot be left alone.

"Changqing, has your brother recently opened a psychological counseling room here?" Grandma sat on a rocking chair in the small garden basking in the sun, her gray hair was meticulously combed, and she was holding a blue-eyed Persian cat in her arms.

Xie Changqing looked at the big white cat's slightly squinted eyes, with a noble and lazy temperament, and suddenly remembered a certain big orange cat that was rustic and temperamental.

"Well, it seems that there were too many people coming to the door in S City before, and he was too lazy to pick it up, so he ran to G City. He replied honestly.

"This kid, where is there still too many patients. Grandma smiled and patted his hand. "He's always been a workaholic, and it's rare to have a holiday, so you can't let him work overtime. I don't call him, you go, just go to the door and arrest him. ”

Xie Changqing's brows furrowed almost invisibly, and he quickly let go.

"Listen to grandma. ”

An hour later, Xie Changqing stood in the office with a bright window, silently staring at his fellow brother.

The sun at three o'clock in the afternoon shone obliquely on the man, and the half-light and half-darkness set off his knife-like hard silhouette even more sharply. Thanks to the pair of gold wire glasses, as well as the white coat on his body, the whole person's temperament has softened a lot. But Xie Changqing knew that this gentle temperament was just an appearance.

"You're here. ”

The man's voice was a little low, and the timbre was like a quaint pottery. But with a hint of a smile, the voice shook like a little tail, raised slightly, and then calmed down again.

Xie Changqing went straight in: "Grandma asked me to call you home for dinner." After thinking about it, he added, "Tonight." ”

The man chuckled and closed his hand and stood up.

He was born very tall, nearly half a head taller than Xie Changqing, who is 1.8 meters tall, which is what makes Xie Changqing jealous since he was a child.

Although he also loves archery, his biggest dream is actually to play basketball, and the line "Coach I want to play basketball" is simply an infinite loop in his childhood dream. It's a pity that he can't grow up, and his whole personality is not very suitable for basketball, a relatively murderous sport, and besides, it is easy to get injured when playing basketball.

The family is already a little nervous about the eldest son's deviant and going to be a psychiatrist, and if he jumps out of the younger son to become an athlete, he may break his arm or leg after a competition, which is unacceptable. So, in the end, he had to settle for the next best thing.

"I seem to see the jealousy in your eyes, don't you, you still envy me for being taller than you?"

Xie Changting's eyes were full of smiles.

Although his younger brother has a gentle temperament, he is stubborn like a donkey inside. Therefore, after so many years, he is still obsessed with the stalk of height, which always makes him feel very funny.

Xie Changqing's eyes widened, like a fried cat, but after only a second or two, he calmed down and snorted softly.

"You better treat your occupational disease first, don't have to analyze a person all day long, it's annoying!"

Xie Changting sighed.

"But, Changqing, don't you think that you are so taciturn, but every time you look at me, you will say particularly long sentences?"

Xie Changqing took a deep breath, turned around and left, and threw down a sentence.

"I brought the words, you can't love it back. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, I'll go back with you. Did you come by yourself, or did Uncle Liu send you here?, eh, I'll drive you in my new car, wait for me."

The two of them just left the clinic one after the other, and the brothers with very different temperaments but appearances were thrown out of passers-by a few streets away, and the young lady at the front desk was full of spring, and sighed that they had gone lucky, and they could apply for such a good position as "welfare" by casually spreading their resumes. Even if today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, she has to work overtime, and she has no regrets. After all, there are three times the salary!

Suddenly, a sneaky figure appeared at the gate.

The person who came was a woman, and her sunglasses and mask looked very mysterious, much like those stars who covered their ears and stole bells.

The young lady at the front desk felt a pang in her heart, she remembered that the boss had confessed to herself, and she was very tired of those little stars in her words, so that she could not accept it. Therefore, she changed to a standard smile that was gentle and generous and rejected thousands of miles away at a speed of eight hundred miles.

"Hello, is Dr. Xie here?

"I'm sorry, Dr. Xie just went out. ”

Yan Xiaojiu was a little disappointed: "Oh, will he come back today?

"I don't know much about this, Dr. Xie's itinerary has always been relatively free. Why don't you come back another day?"

The girl at the front desk was polite, but no useful information was revealed.

But she didn't give up.

"Well, I was introduced by Dr. Xie's alumni when he was studying at X University, and I originally made an appointment on the 14th of last month, but I didn't come because of temporary things. You see......"

The young lady at the front desk was suspicious, and turned out last month's appointment record to check, and then she barely believed it.

"Then you can come over at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, if there is no accident, Dr. Xie will be here." I'll let you know if there are any changes. Do you leave your mobile phone number ......"

After a battle of wits and courage, this can be regarded as a number.

Yan Xiaojiu walked out silently, and said in his heart, if it wasn't because of Xie Changqing's girlfriend last time, oh no, it's a little cousin, if I hadn't been startled by her and went back directly, why bother. Blame herself, what a coward.

The next day, she arrived at the clinic half an hour ahead of schedule, following the routine of the public hospital, only to find that the door was locked.

If you look closely, it's open from 10 a.m.

This...... Is it possible that private clinics are so uninhibited?

Yan Xiaojiu had to play a mobile game at the door to pass the time, shaking his head while grabbing people's heads, and sighed that it was not as good as the genuine version of the end game, and began to feel very sad about the castration that the mobile game version of "Wushuang" might suffer in the future.

I don't know how long it took for her to become so addicted to bullets that she almost forgot where she was and what she was doing.

"Is this game fun?" a strange male voice suddenly sounded.

She reflexed: "It's fun." ”

"Oh, so why are you sitting here playing? There doesn't seem to be wifi here. ”

"It's okay, I can't run out of traffic...... Huh?"

Yan Xiaojiu finally reacted consciously, raised his head, and fell into a pair of sharp black eyes that were as deep as a cold pool.

The man was tall, and although he was standing at the foot of the steps, he also leaned over to look at her sitting on the top of the three steps, which was quite oppressive.

She blinked, a little unnatural, and wanted to back away.

"You're—"

"You, that's Miss Yan, right?"

The man straightened up, bypassed her and went straight to open the door.

For some reason, she always felt that the smile on the other party's face was a little playful when she said the three words "Miss Yan".

She was taken aback, "Are you, Doctor Xie?" vaguely remembered that she seemed to have seen a tall person in a white coat that day, but she didn't see her face clearly, and she guessed that it was this person.

"Yes, come in. ”

Looking at the phone time, it was 9:58.

She felt a little incredible, "What about yesterday's front desk lady, why do you want to open the door yourself?"

Xie Changting said casually: "She is on vacation." ”

After all, it was not the first time to contact a psychological counselor, and Yan Xiaojiu was not very nervous, just waiting to enter the counseling room to fill out the form, do a psychological test, and chat for a while.

Unexpectedly, this psychological counselor, who is said to be very tired, didn't even give her a piece of paper, and directly started the home-style mode.

"You were introduced by that guy from Ji Ke?"

"Yes. She replied honestly.

Xie Changting picked up a fountain pen casually, but he didn't open the cap, and played with the pen like a student in middle school who was bored.

"He didn't say hello to me, are you friends?"

"Sort of. Yan Xiaojiu muttered in her heart, it was a fake boyfriend and girlfriend. "We were neighbors when we were kids. ”

"And what's your problem?" he pinched his pen with two fingers and nodded a little wine. "I've always been more direct, after all, you can only take medicine if you have the right symptoms, and I see that Miss Yan has clear eyes, and you don't look like a manic or depressed patient, and you are not a doctor who is shy about illness. So, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Xiaojiu was stuck for a moment, really, what a direct doctor, the previous ones were all euphemistic as if they were afraid that any word would stimulate them to pull out a knife and kill someone.

She roughly described her misogynistic symptoms, and although she was a little embarrassed, she tried to pretend that nothing happened.

"That's pretty much it. In other words, what is my disease? Can it be cured? I have seen a doctor several times before, but the effect is not very obvious. Ahem, it's not that I heard that you are a good doctor, that, you have a lot of theoretical knowledge, so ......"

Xie Changting pondered for a moment.

"Your symptom is commonly known as androphobia, but androphobia is a social phobia, generally speaking, patients will have uneasiness and panic when they see the opposite sex, and may also feel nervous and shy. But as you described, you do not reject normal association with the opposite sex, except for close physical contact. This type of contact can make you dizzy, nauseous, and even want to throw up and hit someone, which is an obvious avoidance behavior. ”

Listening to the other party's analysis, he was very satisfied.

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly took a turn of words: "Does Miss Yan have any animals that you are afraid of?" or something specific?"

She thought for a moment, "Snakes, and all sorts of wriggling mollusks. ”

In fact, when she said this, her face already showed a bit of disgust and fear.

As a result, the doctor still didn't let her go: "Then how do you react when you think of this kind of thing and come into contact with you, or when you see this kind of thing?"

The corners of Yan Xiaojiu's mouth drooped, and he imagined it very reluctantly, and by the way, he recalled a bad memory in his childhood, and then replied in a low voice: "It should be able to scream, run away, have weak legs, and so on." Every time I see this kind of thing on TV or somewhere else, I am bound to have nightmares related to it at night. In the end, she rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, only to feel a chill on her back.

"Do you feel dizzy, numb in your hands and feet, or even nauseous and want to vomit?"

Well, I think there are so.

Wait, isn't that what she was talking about when she reacts to the physiological contact of the opposite sex?

Yan Xiaojiu was a little puzzled, and looked at the other party with a wink.

"Animal phobia is one of the more common conditions, which occurs more often in childhood. Patients may be nervous, scared or have other avoidance behaviors towards certain animals, and in severe cases, they may even have a nervous breakdown, which is basically the same as that described by Miss Yan herself. ”

She was a little incredulous: "You mean, I'm actually an animal phobia, and men are also a type of animal?"

Xie Changting chuckled, immediately cleared his throat, and continued to analyze as if nothing had happened.

"I didn't mean that, but it's not impossible for you to understand it that way. After a pause, he added: "Zoophobia generally originates from bad memories of encountering certain animals at an early age, or exaggerated descriptions from elders, or even animal images from fairy tales. Some people heal on their own as adults, while others stay with them for the rest of their lives. I don't know, did anything happen to Miss Yan when she was a child, or when did this problem first arise?"

Yan Xiaojiu frowned, this is a question that every psychological counselor asks, but it is also her biggest question.

Because, there is no childhood shadow in her memory at all, only a rough recollection, this problem began to appear in high school, at first it was relatively mild, and then it became more and more obvious. She was also notified of criticism because she accidentally injured her high school tablemate, and her family lost some money, and later changed schools. Because of this, Yan's mother still counted her down from time to time, and when she injured her blind date last time, she pulled out and criticized her, saying that she was so martial and ruthless, and she had no femininity at all.

Like a frosted eggplant, she said very sincerely that she really didn't remember.

Every time she got to this point, the counselors would shake their heads and sigh, their eyes shining with distrust, as if she was trying to hide some disgraceful past. Therefore, it is often like this.

It's just that today this doctor is very extraordinary.

"Does Miss Yan have a boyfriend?"

She shook her head.

"Do you mind if I chase you?"

Her eyes widened.

The other party got up, grabbed her hand, and smiled: "Now, are you dizzy?"

It's really scared to death!
